SCSO CAGE Unit apprehends 16-year-old shooting suspect

Rasheed Redding, the 16-year-old suspect in the Sunday night shooting on Hallyburton Street, has been taken into custody by the Spalding County Sheriff’s Office.

According to Maj. Dwayne Jones, a warrant was served, and Redding was arrested by agents of the SCSO Criminal Apprehension and Gang Enforcement (CAGE) Unit.

He has been transported to the Griffin Police Department.

Griffin Police Department investigators have obtained warrants against Redding on charges of aggravated battery, five counts of aggravated assault, criminal trespass with damage to property, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and possession of a firearm by a person under 18 years of age.

A second suspect, 18-year-old Michael Marquavious Jester, was arrested Monday. He is charged with aggravated battery, five counts of aggravated assault and criminal trespassing with damage to property.

The GPD alleges the shooting resulted from a dispute over a stolen bicycle.

Wounded in the incident was 51-year-old Virginia Sanchez, who was transported to Atlanta Medical Center with serious injuries.

Prosecutors intend to try Redding as an adult.
